Doctors
Pike and Reese are sitting in the Recovery Room when Dr. Pike asks, “What’s in
the refrigerator?“
Dr.
Reese goes over to the refrigerator and says, “There’s a fresh breast, a leg
and a couple arms.”
Dr.
Pike says, “Mustard and ketchup are perfect with a breast.”
Dr.
Reese responds, “Think I’ll go for a leg today. Hand me the salt and pepper. Mrs.
Winder has a tasty breast. Whose leg are you having?”
“Mr.
Presko’s.”
“Sad
no one misses him,” Dr. Reese says.
“Except
his landlord.”
